Product Description
This is a lidded mizusashi (water container) by Touro, a renowned Bizen ware artist.
[Product Features]
• Design: This exquisite piece showcases the beautiful hīro (fire color) and goma (sesame seed) textures characteristic of Bizen ware, created through the chemical reaction of clay and fire without the use of glaze. The lid and body display different expressions, exuding a sense of substance and rustic warmth.
• Signature: The artist's mark (imprint) Touro is clearly engraved on the bottom.
• Usage: While perfect as a mizusashi for tea ceremonies, its striking presence also makes it suitable as an interior decorative object, a vase, or even a high-quality storage container.
[Condition]
There are no noticeable chips or cracks, and the interior is in excellent condition. It appears to have been carefully stored. Please refer to the photos for details.
[Size]
• Height: Approx. 15cm (including lid)
• Width: Approx. 16cm (at widest point)
• Opening Diameter: Approx. 14cm
(Photos with a measuring tape are also included for reference.)
We hope to pass this item on to someone who will cherish it.

Listing Tip
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
The packaging was neat and the product arrived without any damage. The design is simple but practical, exactly what I was looking for.
